Both Trinity School and Bridgemary School are delivering this model using termly sports. For example, using football to assess across the three strands. This allows pupils and teachers to see the pupil’s highest-performing sport, and highest performing strand. Strong, Silver and Robinson (1995) identified four goals and related needs that motivate engagement which are: success and need for mastery; curiosity and need for understanding; originality and need for self expression; relationship and need for involvement with others. Success affects a learner’s academic self-efficacy, a learners beliefs in their abilities, which influences their cognitive engagement with a learning task (National Research Council, 2007). Curiosity in a topic is related to the value and relevance of that topic personally to the learner (Strong et al., 1995). Originality and self expression are associated with autonomy and choice. People have an inner drive toward interpersonal involvement so relationships and belonging are motivating to individuals (Strong et al., 1995).Pupils are assessed against this criteria using Foundation, Developing, Secure, and Excellence as the outcome. Tom has commented that senior managers have even given each outcome a number so that data can be analysed and progress can be evidenced. This is now bridging the gap towards a meaningful curriculum, and meeting the needs of whole-school assessment cycles. Blenkinsop, S. (2005). Martin Buber: Educating for relationship. Ethics, Place & Environment 8(3), 285-307. With this version, pupils are assessed by giving them a grade based on whether they meet the criteria. Like ‘Me in PE’, this can be applied to multiple sports. Quality Manager – Lead quality initiatives and drive continuous improvement efforts across your organization’s processes. Head, Heart, Hands’ works in a slightly broader way than ‘Me in PE’ in that there are only three strands. Each of these strands has six sub-strands under each heading.

Meeting Manager – Enhance meeting effectiveness by planning, organizing, and executing meetings that achieve clear outcomes. Our joy was short-lived, as we soon realised this had caused mass hysteria for non-PE specialist senior leaders, convulsing at the thought of there not being a number to evidence learning or progress. Queue the introduction of level descriptors (that are certainly not levels), and the vice principal needing to put this in a spreadsheet. So then, what we had was not actually a ‘Life without Levels’, it was effectively a life without levels WITH levels. Yep, my brain was fried having these conversations too! Burdette, H.
